Looking at getting an 8520 to use for competitive BBQ. The door has built in stabilizer jacks. Wanting to know if anyone knows the load weight on the door? Could have up to 2K lbs on it with cooker and coolers and ppl.

I have the smaller 6x15 toyhauler and the capacity of the ramp door is at least 2000lbs, there's a sticker on the door but I can't remember if it says 2000 or 2400.

Here's a link to Challenger Door who built the doors for my 2013.

Here's another link to Lippert which makes ramp doors, they rate it at 3000lbs as a ramp and 1500lbs as a patio.
I don't know if the patio rating is with the door hanging on cables or supported by stands.
